Method for manufacturing speaker-use center cap

Abstract

A method is for manufacturing a speaker-use center cap provided with a first cap member layer of synthetic resin and a second cap member layer layered in intimate contact with the first cap member layer and made of a material different from that of the first cap member layer. The method includes: a pre-molding step of attaching a non-molded sheet-like material which is a raw material of the second cap member layer to a mating surface of one of die parts of an injection molding die and thereafter closing the injection molding die to apply a predetermined cap shape to the sheet-like material; and an injection molding step of injecting the synthetic resin material into the injection molding die closed by the pre-molding step to form the first cap member layer to be intimate contact with the second cap member layer.

Description

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the subject matter contained in Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-148385 filed on May 18, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a center cap for use in a speaker (hereinafter referred to as a speaker-use center cap), and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a center cap for use in a speaker in a multi-layer structure including a first cap member layer of synthetic resin molded in a predetermined shape by injection molding and a second cap member layer (skin layer) layered or stacked in intimate contact on the first cap member layer and made of a different material from the first cap member layer. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] In an electrodynamic speaker, which produces sound through amplitude-vibration of a diaphragm by a magnetic circuit, an opening is form...

Problems solved by technology

However, the above conventional method has a problem that the number of manufacturing steps is increased because of the step of independently molding the second cap member layer 5, thus increasing the production cost.

Further, when the second cap member layer 5 molded is set in a die for injection-molding the first cap member layer 3 (hereinafter referred to as an injection-molding die), or when the first cap member layer 3 and the second cap member layer 5 which have been individually made are stacked, it was difficult to provide uniform contact over the entire region of a stacking plane because of a fine size error therebetween and was impossible to ensure a uniform physical property over
